Hey amigos! Welcome to Friday’s surf report from Colorados. The swell was very big as forecasted, but it didn’t really hit the sandbars appropriately. Still some big drops and adrenaline rushes.

The tide was high in the evening, so the big faces were open for carves.

Cande Resano was the real MVP this evening. She made the challenging conditions look easy.

It looked like she was surfing in a heat out there. But it was a solo clinic haha.

I got a little inspired watching her belt the lip so many times, but I was totally gassed after paddling in circles all morning at low-tide haha.

Cande was smart to drop all the way to the bottom of the face before initiating her bottom turns. It was kind of fat with the high-tide, so it was good to use the whole wave-face and surf top-to-bottom.

I was really impressed with how much power and drive she was generating. I definitely need to step up my rail to rail surfing haha.

She has the aesthetic of her spray rings dialed. They usually followed the perfect semi-circle, like throwing a cast net.

She had the whole lineup combo'd! I only went for tubes today, so it was a different approach. I tend to be a one trick pony and stick to that haha.

It was a bit of a flop today, but it was good to feel some Pacific power! Hopefully more tubes tomorrow than there were today. Hasta manana.

Hey everyone! Welcome to Thursday evening’s surf report from Colorados. It was a bit of a “stand-up contest” this evening, but the power should return tomorrow. Still surfable, but we are suffering from the recency bias haha.

Hey amigos! Josh here for the next few days. Welcome to April 1st’s surf report from Colorados. The surf was on its dying breaths today, but there were still a few good sets and pulses sprinkled throughout the day. The mid-day window had insane sun, so there were very few surfers out.

Hey everyone! Josh back behind the lens for the next few days. Welcome to Wednesday’s report from Panga Drops. The waves pulsed fairly consistently early this morning, but died out later in the morning as the wind turned light onshore. Would you and a buddy split the peak on this A-Frame?

Welcome back Monday! It’s amazing how quickly time goes by down here in the tropics. Must have something to do with be being so close to the equator, maybe? The time (from sunup to sundown only changes by about 30 min the entire year) It’s pretty much dark by 6:30 pm and first light is..
